Diffusion tensor imaging and tractography of the sciatic and femoral nerves in healthy volunteers at 3T

Diffusion tensor imaging and tractography of the sciatic and femoral nerves in healthy volunteers at 3T

Abstract Background The aim was to clarify the normal fractional anisotropy (FA) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of the sciatic and femoral nerves at the level of the hip joint and to visualize the neural tracts with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Methods Twenty-four healthy volunte...
